Analysis: Lawmakers intent on sticking to script, no matter what Mueller report says
By Paul Kane Paul Kane Senior congressional correspondent and columnist Email Bio Follow April 17 at 4:02 PM All of Washington seems to be bracing for the Justice Department’s release of the report on the nearly two-year investigation of the Trump campaign and Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election.
By and large, however, most lawmakers are expected to carry on Thursday and for the rest of this recess period as they have been for the past few months, according to advisers in both parties.
It is a delicate balancing act, on both sides, perhaps best exemplified by one freshman Democrat in a district north of Detroit that flipped from GOP control last fall. Stevens will be surrounded by local and state officials as they plan to discuss K-12 education, along with local leaders of carpenter and craftsman unions. There will probably be a heavy focus on continuing education and professional training programs to help move those with non-college degrees into a more specialized workforce.
They have not entirely avoided national issues. House GOP leadership circulated a memo Wednesday about how at least four freshmen faced questions in the past few days about whether they support socialist policies, a line of attack Republicans have been pushing as Sen. Bernie Sanders has gained ground in the presidential campaign.
